Barcelona in the last decade had the most fearsome attacking trio called the MSN. The trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar Jr wreaked complete havoc in Europe before unfortunately getting disbanded due to various reasons. Fans to date clamor for the trio’s reunion, but that hardly looks possible today. What’s possible, however, is seeing two out of the three play together. We already saw Messi reunite with Neymar at PSG. It now looks like we might see Messi reunited with Luis Suarez at the MLS.

But there is a problem. While it will be exciting to witness Messi and Suarez again together, some fans are of the opinion that Suarez’s reason to join MLS is flawed. This has been a hot topic of discussion on the internet over the last few days.

A couple of days ago, Luis Suarez revealed that he wants to end his Gremio contract a year early despite signing a 2-year contract in December 2022. The reason cited by him was his inability to keep up with the Brazilian league’s frantic pace and his deteriorating fitness condition. Hence, he revealed his request to the club to end his contract a year early which Gremio graciously accepted.

The club agreed and I’m grateful to them,” said El Pistolero.
